We can clone right? We've tried that on sheep.

Clones develop as babies first
Someone has to care for those babies
Whoever it is will be that baby's family
Problem unsolved

I see you're okay with killing people, just not the ones you love. I guess nobody loves the ones we kill, right?

You do realize that clones have to grow up just like their genetic source did? The clones will be born as babies, not fully-formed adults.

Do you actually LIVE in that head?

I've heard of Liberals that breed sheep.
(I don't blame them. Liberal women are too much like men. Sheep are much more attractive.)
Go for it Lib Boys.

No we can't clone humans yet, not if we wish them to grow up to be able to fight. Dolly the sheep had some major health problems that shortened her life. We have gotten better with animals like cows but that is a long way off from primates or humans.

Then there is the common mistake that people not familiar with the science of cloning make. Clones are carbon copies of the original at birth. Once born their environment takes over and they may not turn out like the original. Furthermore clones have no more knowledge at birth than their original had at their birth. If you train a superior soldier to be a professional special forces soldier and then clone him, his clones will have to undergo the exact same expensive training to become as good as the original was. Also the raising of the child will be different, they might break a leg, then may even die early. When you copy something over and over errors can creep in. With computers they use a procedure called “a check sum” that makes sure each packet is properly identical. If not then the computer resends it. But, in the case of cloning these copy errors build up and can cause serious genetic anomalies in later clones.

Finally, there is the ethical and morale issue. Is it fair to create a person just so they can fight in a war, with no other reason for their life? These people are reasoning intelligent people with the same rights as the original. Just because they are clones doesn’t change that. You can also make religious arguments about the soul. Do the clones share a soul, do they even have a soul, or do all of them have unique souls? Arguments can be made on all three issues and until we know for sure, and can prove it without having to rely on issues of faith, then we don’t know the moral ramifications of creating a new creature that is only designed for war.

Cloning isn’t perfect nor advanced enough to risk human cloning, at least not yet. Many nations, including most of the advanced ones have already outlawed human cloning. Once a person is cloned then as our current laws exist they are a human being with all the rights and responsibilities of a human being. They are neither property nor goods to be bought, sold, and traded, much less condemned to a life that is only intended for war.

A: Cloning is illegal and unethical.
B: Even if we did, they would still be human beings. You watch too much sci-fi.

Dont take this answer the wrong way, but there are some who want to go fight. But yeah that is a good idea tho.

I would love my clones too and don't want to send them to death

Dolly was an animal first of all and second of all the funds for cloning are well over millions, and when Clinton was president he banned all fund towards cloning, so right now, we cant clone anything, maybe in the future they will fund it again, and we will be able to clone a live human.

Yes, we can clone, however it take millions of dollars for one sheep! Just think how expensive that would be! Also, clones have shown signs of a limited life span, and die fairly quickly.

Ya, lets speed up the growth rate from an infant to adult too. Not gonna happen. Your talking about a degree of impossibility...in this lifetime anyway. Not only that but, why would you think a cloned person wouldn't be someones loved one? Clones are not robots for cry'n out loud.


Canadian Guy
That would be a great idea but that would go against everything the repubs stand for.


as_myself
The clones would still be humans with human rights - like not being killed.

The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. -Thomas Jefferson

It says the blood of patriots, not the biometric ooze of clones of patriots. If you feel your freedom isn't worth your life, well first of all, you are a sorry SOB, and second, you don't deserve them.

you do not need a clone
you have just to remove the stupid age restriction
from the Military Recruitment
and I will go right now
but when I'm there do not tell me
I can not shoot because the rules of engagement
say we can only shoot back if the enemy shoot first
cause that is BS

because its immoral and wrong, and evil...wait isn't that kinda like war???

it makes sense, but it would make more sense if we just didn't have to kill each other to solve our differences

However cloning is possible, sensible solutions and alternatives to war, apparently arent


Tiffany B
Well, we can't really clone people well and their still working on it. Dude seriously get some brains. -.- (no offense!)


markos m
I would not start cloning soldiers for soon, we'll be cloning presidents and you don't want to have more Bushes around...or do you?


Tenn Gal
Great Idea, but not possible to clone a human being.
